Lumination Coaching Tool

Contact Hazel Russo to find out more

“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.”
— Carl Jung

Lumination is a highly interactive coaching and development tool. Designed as a board game, it may be played with between 2 – 6 players and can be facilitated or used as a standalone game. It may also be used as a tool for one to one coaching.

Each player begins Lumination by identifying a question they have about life, work or career. On throwing the dice players move their counter around the Lumination board. The game works through coaching style questions and interaction between players, which are prompted by cards selected during play. Insights and actions are shared throughout the game.

Unlike most games Lumination is not about winning or losing. Each player addresses their own question as part of a shared learning experience.

Who can play?

Anyone who wants to gain clarity on an individual issue, much as someone would bring an issue to a coaching session or action learning set.

If you are a coach, coach trainer or L&D specialist, you can use Lumination to generate a rich learning experience for your clients, trainees or staff. Lumination is ideal for team away days and to support the development of coaching skills as part of coach training, accreditation and supervision.

It can also be used as an experiential introduction to coaching and as a tool for ongoing coaching support.

“I found great depth and coaching knowledge had gone into the development of the Lumination game. I was especially interested to see how useful this tool would be in Coach Supervision and I was very pleased to experience the richness of discovery for both myself and other group members. Lumination would indeed be applicable to both coach training and coach supervision.”

Jean Crawford, Mango Consultant

“The group of high potential young managers who had just had an intro to experience and practise coaching basics loved Lumination. Feedback included comments like how thought provoking the questions were and how relevant to many things they were as well as the sheer pleasure of the game, being supported by and supporting others whilst playing. They even suggested that in the days’s event more time be allocated to it.”

Brendan, Mediator

““I really enjoyed Hazel’s coaching; the “Lumination” Board Game was a tremendous resource and great fun to play. In a crucial aspect of my deliberations, Hazel’s work with me produced a remarkably unexpected outcome which now advises how I go forward, so totally justifying the commitment to undertake the coaching which Hazel offers. “Lumination” is a Board Game built on a brilliant concept of movement and play which encourages constructive thoughtfulness and provides fulsomely, as advertised, ‘what it says on the tin. “”
